• Do not let children play with the appli-
ance.

appliance door when it is open.
• If the appliance has a child safety de-
vice, we recommend you activate it.
CHILD SAFETY DEVICE

GENERAL SAFETY
• Do not use the appliance for professio-
nal use. The appliance is only for do-
mestic use.
• Do not change the specifications of this
appliance. There is the risk of injury and
damage to the appliance.
• Do not dry not washed items in the ap-
pliance.
• Do not use the drying programme if
you have used industrial chemicals for
cleaning.
• When you load the appliance make
sure that no gas lighters or matches are
accidentally left in the garments pock-
ets .
• Wash in hot water with extra detergent
before you dry the items that have
stains of substances such as cooking oil
acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot remov-
ers, turpentine, waxes and wax remov-
ers .
• Do not dry in this appliance items such
as foam rubber (latex foam), shower
caps, waterproof textiles (if there is no
special drying programme), rubber
backed articles and clothes or pillows
fitted with foam rubber pads.
• Oil-affected items can ignite spontane-
ously, especially when exposed to heat
sources such as in a drying programme.
The items become warm, causing an
oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation
creates heat. If the heat cannot escape,
the items can become hot enough to
catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-
affected items can prevent heat from
escaping and so create a fire hazard.
If you can not avoid that you dry fabrics
that contain vegetable or cooking oil or
products contaminated by hair care,
first wash them in hot water with extra
detergent - this will reduce, but not
eliminate, the hazard.
The final part of the drying programme
occurs without heat (cool down cycle)
to ensure that the items are left at a
temperature that ensures that items will
not be damaged.
• Do not install the appliance behind a
lockable door, a sliding door, a door
